Congratulations!
Today is getaway day.
You're off to Dodger Stadium!
You're off and away!

You have hats on your head.
You have spikes on your shoes.
You have three wins this road trip,
a fourth = good news!
So bid farewell to Land Shark. The name does not impress.
You're not coming back—unless for the NLCS.

Today it's Kershaw
versus Koronka
as we wait for Kuroda
to get off his badonkadonka.

You are Beast Mode and Raffy
O-Dog and 'Dre.
When Torre rests regulars
The bench finds a way.

J-Mart, King James
Bison and the Beard.
Manny didn't distract
As many had feared.

Mets, next in line
but one game at a time.

On basepaths things can happen
and frequently do
for teams as speedy
and toolsy as you.
